...were the strong, steady playing of Lewis, and several sensational runs outside of tackle and around the ends by Wendell. Groton, as a team, played the better game, but was handicapped by the weight of its opponents.

...like a bird, with wings to flap, and the other like a kite. The former has turned out to be worthless, but the latter has been developed into the aeroplane. The first attempt to fly in one of these machines was made in 1894 with little success.
